Accessing Specific Datasets

You access an element in a specific dataset by prepending {datasetname} to the element name, where datasetname works as shown in the following table.

{sod} Refers to the dataset of the service order data only.
{pod} Refers to the dataset of the current product order data only.
{wod} Refers to the dataset of the current work order data only. (Invalid for Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog, as there is no work order present.)
{verb.product} Refers to the dataset of the specified work order data only.
The first three forms can be used to defeat cascading evaluation of datasets; the verb.product form lets you access foreign datasets as well.
Note:

If there is more than one POD matching a particular verb.product specification, the second is known as verb.product.1, the third as verb.product.2, and so on.

For example, suppose there is a service order that contains two PODs:

  • productVerb="create", productName="voice"

  • productVerb="modify", productName="data"

For this service order, the datasets that you can access explicitly are {sod}, {create.voice}, and {modify.data}. So you can use expressions like:

<{sod}CustomerProfile> == "gold"
<{create.voice}BitEncRate> >= 128
